I mean, this entire thread is stupid. No normal, rational person writes off 7 states to live in.

There are places I'd prefer and places I'd probably rather not live, but sometimes other things in life come before our favorite fun places.

Not if you choose not to take your life so serious or have the ability to

Are we talking specific SEC towns or SEC states?

Yeah, thread is confusing. Lot's of great places to live in the SEC states. If you had to choose to live in the vicinity of each college town? Seems like Nashville stands above the rest.

Not sure why, but the Pac12 seems to have more of their schools near major metro areas, the other conference a bit less so (not sure what the historical reasons are for that.) So if you have to have your independent metropolitan areas, the Pac12 may cater to you more.

Every college town has enough culture for anyone.

You can still have your Alabama mansion in Atlanta

Even in the city you cannot take the Bama redneck out of you

I don't think I'd ever live in Louisiana or Mississippi.

The older I get, the more small-town I get, but I want somewhere not oppressively hot and with a pretty landscape. If money were no object, maybe A30, in one of the nicer places there, or along SW Florida, Captiva, etc.

Apart from that, maybe E. Tennessee or North Georgia.




I have similar feelings as I age. I was born and raised in Dixie, but I'm at the point where I have had enough heat and humidity. Kind of wished my family had gone West back in the day. Actually if it weren't for my family being down here, I would have gone West myself.

I know tastes differ, but to me the perfect climate is the Pacific Coast north of Monterrey. You can keep your sunshine, I want my blessed 70 degree low humidity days. I've never felt so at home and comfortable as I did there.

Only... SJW's you know. If they could all be convinced to emigrate... well we'd have something.

Never really cared for the Southwest or California south of Monterrey.

As for places in the south... can't remember if Paducah, KY is right by the Mississippi, or what the extreme summer or winter climate is like.

But that is the most gorgeous countryside I personally have seen. Loved it.

Actually South of Monterey is much better
The on shore flow makes Monterey very cool at night even in the middle of the summer. As bad as San Francisco. Not to mention the wind if you get into the Salinas Valley
You need jackets and sweaters after 4 pm.


Perfect climate is actually Santa Barbara or SLO county.
Pismo or Grover Beach is probably as close to heaven you will find climate wise

PS, was thinking about this some more.

Could never live in East Tennessee. They have "Death Chiggers." I only got issued one num-num, and I don't want to scratch it off.

Don't know what the difference is, but when you cross the mountains from North Carolina, they become virulent, like they crawled off of Satan.

Have lived in South Texas and in Metro ATL. Would never return to either place. In fact, if I had to leave my retirement house in BTR and could not live in Louisiana, I would NOT move to any SEC state. I'd move to small town Colorado (Durango or Montrose or Gunnison) or Oregon (Bend or Redmond or Klamath Falls) or Montana (Bozeman).

If you are from the Gulf Coast as I am the Pacific Coast takes some time getting use to
Especially the more North you travel
I am talking about high 50's at night in the middle of the summer.
Going from the sun when the marine layer finally goes away to a chilling wind when the marine layer comes back is not as pleasant as you like to believe

I am talking about feeling like you are going to freeze to death in July because you have shorts and a T shirt on during the evening
